Factual errors: Although Elizabeth is portrayed as travelling incognito to meet Mary Stuart (Queen of Scots), the two famously never met. They did communicate by letter and Elizabeth often expressed her wish to meet Mary but she always insisted that would only happen once Mary had acknowledged Elizabeth's right to the throne of England.See more »

Queen Elizabeth I:Come ladies, we are going to watch the Earl of Essex at his favourite pastime, which is trying to kill people.See more »

I'm so brainwashed about Elizabeth I, Bette Davis, Judi Dench, Glenda
Jackson, Flora Robson that it was startling at first to get to know the
woman behind the icon. Helen Mirren is beyond superb, she is a miracle
worker. Meryl Streep called her "an acting God" and she wasn't kidding.
I'm not going to go into the story, we all know it, more or less, but I
can assure you we've never seen it quite like this. Her imposing
presence doesn't cancel her humanity, her rages, her pain, her longing
her capacity for love and compassion with the fierce awareness that she
is the queen and not just any old queen but Elizabeth I Queen of
England. A total absorbing delight from beginning to end. Long Live
Helen Mirren!
